I am appalled by the Maggie's Centre who have refused a donation from the Jerry Springer Opera, to help people with cancer because a religious group threatened them with protests. Stephen Green from Christian Voice, said the charity had made a decision to "honour the Christian faith", describing it as a "beacon of excellence. They were in grave risk of alienating Christian donors, their staff and cancer patients," he told Radio 4's Today programme. However, he admitted his group threatened to protest outside the cancer charities' offices had they accepted the donation.
The opera's cast had agreed to waive their wages for a one-off charity special on 18 February. However, cancer patients can "Go to Hell" because of Christian Voice! I am saddened by this development and view this Christian group as no better than the cancer causing cells that took my Mother's life in February 1997.
Yet again, the religious are blinded by dogma and associate themselves with the very evil that propose to challenge. Shame on you!
